This is really nice. How old is your LL? I have some that expired in 98, which I haven't been able to coax anything out of, but have had good success with stuff from 06.

This stuff is also from 2006, and went into the fridge in around 2009

It's technically dry plate, the darkness might be your screen. It's darker but still looks good on my phone, but brighter and easier to see on my laptop... and i have calibrated screens... As for ISO equivalent... These were shot at around what would be ISO 0.1875 (ISO 3 with -4 stops exposure comp)

Wow that's crazy slow, that's like the Verichrome I shot from 1947 with a calculates EI of 0.75 ... Awesome thanks.
